It's all in the Ingredients!

Where our ingredients come from matters!

Growing and raising nutrient-rich food is our passion but we can’t grow it all. Therefore, we are committed to partnering with others to use locally grown and eco-friendly products. We support other farmers who grow food that not only nourishes our bodies, but also our planet.

We are excited to announce that we are a Slow Food "Snail of Approval" 2022-2023 company! Slow Food Vermont's Snail of Approval is awarded to those restaurants, bars, food and beverage artisans, stores, and markets that contribute to the quality, authenticity, and sustainability of Vermont’s food supply and have been deemed outstanding among peers.

Our Farm in Lyndonville

We raise a flock 500 heritage breed chickens that produce rich eggs for our pastas. Our ladies are always on pasture and fed a diverse diet of organic (corn-free & soy-free) feed, kitchen and farm scraps, oyster shells, and local spent brewers grain.

We grow heirloom vegetable on 3/4 of an acre following Italian traditions, with minimal and no-till practices, and beyond organic regenerative farming. We believe that the healthier our soil is, the more delicious our vegetables are!

Who Grows & Mills our Flours?

We use a blend of 100% Vermont grown, freshly milled organic wheat. Our two Vermont partnered farmers take great pride in growing sustainable, delicious, and easy to digest wheat. This blend allows us to create nutrient-rich pastas. If our pastas could talk, they would have a thick Italian accent fluent in Vermont agriculture.

Nitty Gritty started because they believe that small-batch grains taste better and are better for you. Their grains come from their farm in Charlotte, Vermont, where they grow delicious, certified Organic wheat and corn. Single-sourced and small batch, each of the Nitty Gritty products are certified organic. Check out Nitty Gritty Grains here

NEK Grains is a small family farm and their wheat is grown in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. NEK Grains believes that their soil health comes first, and the are therefore transitioning to organic and no-till grain practices! NEK Grains partners with New American Stone Mills to freshly mill our grain every other week for us so the flour is always fresh! Learn more about NEK grains here
